Hi Rafael,

Sure, but the ACPI platform device code here is growing by about the 
same amount :) However maybe we can reduce that with Andy's idea to 
create a struct of function args. But first I will go with using 
platform_device_register_full() in hisi_lpc.

And you please also check the PNP patch? I am not so keen on pushing for 
that.

thanks,
John
